Change animation drawsurrogate object

Hi everybody,

it's probably an easy problem, but I couldn't solve it for hours now. I'm not that experienced to flexsim though.

I have a model with process flow and I have people carrying around objects. However, I want the obejcts (in the example below a box) to belong to the people's animations as a drawsurrogate, because of several reasons. Now that I have that, I want the drawsurrogate object to change or to disappear when the person arrives at a cetrain point in the model (here queue 1).

I would be really thankful if someone could help me, I attacht an example model below.

Kindly , David

You will want to add the box or whatever object as a animation variable as shown in the picture below. I replaced your Change Visual with 1 line of custom code that turns off the visuals of the surrogate object.
